Jeanne Alter just so happens to be one of my fave FGO characters and I hope I'm doing her character and the rest of the cast justice ~
Hope you all stick around for this story, thanksies ~
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Surely enough, Jeanne Alter was quite skeptical about the warm reception I gave her.
Counterfeit J'Alter had been right all along: This future J'Alter had no memory of whatever transpired in that singularity of mirror servants.
"Master of Chaldea, why have you brought me here?" She asked whilst narrowing her eyes at me, "Is this your idea of a joke? Hm?"
"Ah, well, it just so happened that you ... "
Shit. What's a good excuse for this? She'd beat me senseless if I just told her another Alter handed it to me.
As if fate decided that the dragon witch still wasn't uncomfortable enough, her sunny and bright counterpart had decided to walk in at this moment.
"Morning, Master! We headed out to-" Jeanne stopped mid-sentence as her ocean eyes met eyes of scathing yellow.
"Eh, Alter me? Is that you?"
"Tch! Why are you of all people here?!"
Alter had decided to point her sword accusingly to her original self.
"Alter, we don't have to fight here." Jeanne was rather steadfast and firm, but inside she was nervous about how badly the situation might escalate from here.
Sparing me a glance, Alter asked "Do you really expect me to fight side by side with this God loving me? She's still just as naive looking as the last time I saw her."
I have to be rather careful with my answers here.
I could feel Mash, Jeanne, and Romani's worried glances upon me.
Taking a deep breath, I said "Alter, I'm not going to force you to work alongside this version of you. However, I do expect you to at least try getting along with all the people and servants here, Jeanne included."
Luckily enough, Alter had decided to sheathe her blade away after a few more tense moments.
Oh sweet baby Jesus, was that stressful.
"Hmph, that bodes well with me, Master." She drawled out my name in mock respect.
Alter gives her other self a glance and says, "Just as long as you don't bother me nor get in my way, I won't be skewering and scorching your do-gooder self on Chaldea's walls."
Deciding that this was her Alter's way of saying she'd be civil enough, Jeanne decided to just smile and nod to the request.
"So be it then. Still, don't hesitate to ask me or the others for help here, okay?" She asked her other self in her usually bright and sunny self.
Appalled and slightly embarrassed at the thought of it, Alter seemed to fidget a bit at her other self's words.
"Dream on, lapdog. It'll be an eternity till you'll even come close to me asking you for aid."
Jeanne just shrugged and smiled at her other self's rough nature.
This isn't going to be as difficult at least.
Don't jinx me now.
"Very well, I'll take my leave then. Why don't you show me around this cesspool you call a base, Master?
Realizing that she had no idea where she was, I understood the need for her request.
Not what I expected, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.
As Alter and I walked out of the summoning room, I saw Mash, Romani, and Jeanne giving me nods and smiles of approval and they were holding up a supportive banner that read: "Good Luck Master!"
Upon closer look, I read some finer text that read: "Don't let her end up burning Chaldea. Please. You got this though!"
Real supportive, everyone.
My attention was quickly brought back by a very strong hand pulling on my top.
"Master! The quicker you show me around this place, the less servants I'll have to burn out of my way when I get lost here." She growled at me as she was practically dragging me out the door.
Soon enough, I spent the whole day showing Jeanne Alter around Chaldea. She pretty much looked over the places with slight interest and looked at the servants strutting about and introducing themselves.
Jeanne was quite warm with introductions herself.
In her own cruel and mischievous way, of course.
We decided to take a break in the common area, where most of Chaldea's people sat about to look over the snowy scenery.
After all, I wanted her to at least get acquainted with her new home.
That and I'm a bit tired from having to restrain Alter from pointing her blade at people that flat out annoyed her. She's still rough around the edges, but in time she'll grow more comfy around here.
"Is it always this snowy, Master?" Jeanne asked as she looked over the pale mountain range and the clear skies above.
"Yep. Chaldea's always been snowing like this ever since I got here." I say as I join her in looking at the scenery as well.
"Hm, it's too cold here. Don't you think so, Master?"
"I suppose it does get chilly every now and then"
She moved a bit closer to my ear, "Would you mind if I burned this place to the ground then? To keep everyone here nice and toasty?"
"Yeah su-"
Wait, what?
I quickly turn my head towards her with a worried look.
"H-hey! Don't do that, Jeanne!"
Seeing my worried look, Alter just laughed at my expense.
"It's just a joke, Master ~" She continued laughing so elegantly, "Ahh, that look of despair etched on your face is beautiful, non?"
I pouted at her really dark idea of joke.
"It'll do for now, however. This Chaldea may seem utterly plain, but it beats living in the boonies or being tied to a stake."
Seeing a rather worried look on her face, I decided to pat her shoulder to ease her worries.
She recoiled a bit at the contact and pushed my hand away from her shoulder.
"Get your hands off me!" She yelled out in annoyance towards me.
I just give her a cheeky grin.
Still, it's been a rather uneventful walk around Chaldea, Alter's threatening bluffs to other servants aside.
Yes, very uneven-
I suddenly heard someone's rapid steps approaching behind.
Looking back, I looked upon a blonde clad in red making her way towards us.
I take back what I was about to say.
It's gonna be quite a ride for Alter once she meets a certain flamboyant emperor in red strutting about the halls of Chaldea.
Scratch that.
The fun-sized emperor decided to regale us in her royal presence once she got close enough.
"Praetor! A lovely day is it not?"

Blooper: Chaldea Break Room I
While the sole master of Chaldea and Avenger were exploring the halls of the organization, a merry band of servants were all huddled up at a table in the break room.
An Eastern-inspired themed room complete with tatami mats, tables, seats, premade snacks and drinks prepared by a certain motherly servant, this place served as a place of respite for Chaldea's Heroic Spirits.
Gossip sharing and storytelling were common pastimes in this cozy space.
At the head of the table, was a kitsune girl clad in blue robes.
This foxy, buxom Caster was none other than Tamamo-no-Mae, a famous fox spirit courtesan in Japanese mythology.
Aside from that, she's the de facto leader of keeping tabs on gossip and rumors that go about in Chaldea. She pitched the idea of a break room to her Master and after convincing Da Vinci with QP and a fair handful of Saint Quartz (Something that her Master had been very reluctant to give out for a break room), they were able to have the break room constructed.
Other than the foxy Caster, there were other servants in the room.
The Cavern King in his dark green formal attire, Edmond Dantes. This Avenger class servant wasn't necessarily engaging in gossip sharing but preferred to listen in to such conversations out of interest. Other than that, he's the man that acts as a barista for the break room.
Long story short, he made coffee once for his fellow servants and they decided to just make him the sole barista of the break room since his coffee was just too good and Emiya just couldn't be in two places at once.
Seated next to Tamamo, was a short dark-skinned Caster girl with purple hair and jackal ears on top of her head. One of the many pharaohs of Egypt, this was Nitocris. She keeps her eyes and ears open for things that just go about in Chaldea. That and she finds comfort in spending time with her fellows. On her lap was a small blanket ghost with feet protruding from the bottom of it, which she would hold and pet for comfort.
On the other seat next to Tamamo, was a petite Rider with white hair styled into twin tails and an outfit consisting of a red hat and clothes. This was the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette. Out of curiosity and a need to mingle with the people around her, the petite queen's sociable self was able to mesh well with many of Chaldea's people. She came to the break room as she heard about Edmond's exquisite coffee and while waiting, she decided to chat up Tamamo and Nitocris.
The last servant in the room was a purple haired painter girl with elaborate hairpieces and an even more elaborate kimono. Despite the extravagantly dressed appearance, she carried herself in a simple and relaxed manner as her slippers were kicked to the inside of the table. This was none other than Katsushika Hokusai, Foreigner class servant. More accurately, this was Hokusai's daughter, Oui.
Like Edmond, she preferred to listen more to the gossip. Still, that didn't stop the eccentric painter from chipping in her own two cents into the conversation. That aside, she stays in the break room every now and then to snack and drink some tea while working on her paintings.
The current topic of interest in the room was none other than Jeanne Alter, the newbie Avenger that came into Chaldea.
Tamamo decided to start and open up that topic with the servants in the room
"An Avenger-class servant, hm? Say, say, she's really got that temper of hers dialed to 11 from what I hear."
Nitocris nodded her head in agreement and said her piece,
"Mhm, she is an Avenger! She had those vengeful looking eyes that were ready to kill on instant, although …"
Seeing the way the conversation was going, Marie decided to finish the pharaoh's line of thought.
"...Edmond has similarly menacing ones yet he doesn't seem to have the same kind of hair trigger that Jeanne Alter has."
The gossipy trio looked expectantly at the lone male servant in the room.
Unsure how to answer, Edmond merely shrugged.
"Don't ask me, I'm not sure either why she's got such a temper" He said as he was wiping a freshly washed mug with a cloth.
"Still, you have to give props to the Master for being able to handle her temper and death threats. It certainly takes someone with steadfast patience to hang around such a fiery person."
"Mikon! How interesting ~" Mused the kitsune, "I wonder if anything happened to Master and her in Orleans, was it?"
As the sole servant in the room that was involved in the Orleans Singularity, Marie answered Tamamo's query.
"I'm not quite sure about that, I was sent back to the Throne way before Master-dono and his party were able to reach Jeanne Alter."
The gossipy trio seemed a bit stumped at their lack of information.
However, a certain eccentric painter had a devious scheme in mind.
She briefly put her brush to the side and cleared her throat.
"Ho? Information on that raven-clad Avenger?" Oui started with a rather amused tone, "I just happen to have some information on little old her ~"
The trio looked at Oui with their jaws dropped in surprise.
"O-Oui?! You know something about this?" A surprised Nitocris spoke first in response to the bomb Oui dropped for them.
Edmond raised his eyebrow at what possible thing Hokusai could know about his fellow Avenger.
That, and he's well aware of Oui's schemes at this point.
In short, this may not end too well in the long run for the trio.
"I was with Master and the others in that pseudo-singularity after all. Heh, you three certainly missed out on a very scandalous sight ~"
"Oui! You gotta spill that right now! We're dying to know something about Jeanne's edgy, edgy self in black all over!" The kitsune exclaimed in a very pleading tone.
"Well ~ I just might be convinced to give away such vital information…"
Oui looked at the trio with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"...at an equivalent cost, of course ~"
Marie looked at her curiously and asked,
"Hmm? What materials do you want from us or are you asking for sufficient monetary compensation?"
Tamamo seemed to feel goosebumps as she had a feeling where this conversation was headed with the painter.
"...How many, Oui?"
"Huh?" "What?"
The other two females of the trio seemed blissfully unaware of the conversation's context.
Smiling at how fast Tamamo understood the price of her information, she looked her straight in the eye.
"1 painting for each member of your little trio."
Widening her eyes slightly, Tamamo responded.
"1 painting? How generous of you today, Oui ~"
The other two members of the trio looked at Tamamo for information.
Sensing the inquisitive looks on her companions' faces, she answered them.
"Our payment to Hokusai is basically her asking for permission to paint us in rather suggestive positions. Nothing too racy, but something that's less than wholesome."
Scrunching her face, Tamamo remembered how long she had to stay still in place while Oui painted her. If she moved an inch, Oui's octopus of a father would gently whack a clean paintbrush on her body.
Understanding the method of payment and the stakes at hand, Marie sounds her approval over the matter of payment.
"A pin-up painting of me? Well, I've certainly had paintings of me done before, so this will be no issue to me, Oui!"
Seeing that her servant friends were joining in as well, Nitocris also sounded her approval.
"Hm! Well, a pharaoh immortalized in your exquisite painting style would bring me much honor, so very well! I will graciously accept such a method of payment to repay your information."
Oui clapped her hands and excitedly smiled over the new art she'd be making quite soon.
"Great to hear then!"
Oui sat herself in a more upright position as she got ready to share what she saw happen between Master and Jeanne Alter.
"Now, where do I begin, hmm ~?"
Dantes looked over the lively conversation in amusement and smiled to himself.
Although, he couldn't help but notice how Oui's smile seemed a bit sinister for a split second, but he dismissed it as a trick of the light and went back to listening.
Little did anyone know that Oui and her Toto-sama were secretly managing a website online. Master decided to show her how computers and technology worked when she first arrived in Chaldea, so she ended up requesting a personal computer for her own needs and interests as she grew more interested in the device.
At first, it had been harmlessly searching for images to paint for reference.
However, she came across a curious site named "HNentai". It had been filled with several interesting and tasteful illustrations and to Oui, this was no more than just another expression of art to be displayed to the public.
She soon found out that some of these revealing artworks could be monetized.
One thing lead to another, and she now secretly uploads the pin-ups of her fellow servants. She uploads her artworks or "sauce", as the rest of the people online aptly called it, on various sites for a nice tidy sum for them.
Poor girls, but more money and material for us right, Toto-sama?
The Isedaiko group had claimed yet another victim for their sauce collection online.
